Bipolar disorder and cluster headaches

Hello,

My name is Liz and I am looking to find my tribe within a tribe. I am struggling with both my bipolar and cluster symptoms that limit my ability to travel. 
I also have hemicrania continua.

Anyway, when I travel, my headaches are off the charts crazy and I can never enjoy a vacation. In addition, I tend to go manic immediately as soon as I step off the plane and often have suicidal ideation. 
 

I do not know how to manage these symptoms. Every time I travel, I wish the next time will be different. I plan. I try to change my sleep pattern to adjust, etc… 

I do not know what to do..  

Any advice would be appreciated. My kids live in a different state and it’s easier (time wise) for me to visit them so they don’t have to miss work. They are young and don’t get lengthy vacations from work. 
 

Suggestions? Advice? Anything

Is it an airplane ride that starts setting off the attacks, or just travel in general?  Are your headache issues generally well controlled, or satisfactorily controlled, when you are not traveling?  Do you mind saying what meds you are using (in part, I'm curious about what works for both CH and HC, or whether you have to somehow treat each one separately)?

Vitamin D regimen comes to mind as something that might help.  D3 regimen - ClusterBuster Files - ClusterBusters
